阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Thriving in Your First Year of Work: A Practical Guide
Transitioning (过渡) from campus to the workplace is a significant step, bringing new responsibilities and challenges. For most graduates, it’s the first time they are fully financially independent and dealing with a professional environment. Adapting successfully requires more than just technical skills. Here are four essential strategies to help you build a strong foundation for your career.
Set Clear Professional Goals
Begin by defining what you want to achieve in your role, both in the short and long term. Goals should be challenging yet realistic, pushing you to grow without causing burnout. Break larger goals into attainable tasks and create a timeline for completion. This structured approach turns abstract ambitions into a clear action plan, providing direction and a sense of accomplishment as you progress.
Develop Workplace Communication
Effective interaction is significant. You will cooperate with colleagues, report to managers, and possibly engage with clients. To build strong professional relationships, practice active listening and express your ideas clearly and respectfully. Pay attention to non-verbal cues (提示) and be open to feedback. Understanding others’ viewpoints promotes teamwork and shows emotional intelligence, which is highly valued in any organization.
Master Time and Task Management
The workload can be overwhelming. Prioritize your tasks based on urgency and importance. Use tools like digital calendars or planners to schedule your day, allocating time for deep work, meetings, and breaks. Avoid multitasking, as it often reduces efficiency. Instead, focus on completing one task well before moving to the next. Staying organized is key to meeting deadlines and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
Manage Your Finances Wisely
Your first salary brings independence but also financial responsibilities. Start by creating a budget: track your income, essential expenses (rent, utilities, groceries), and discretionary spending (entertainment, dining out). Prioritize saving a portion of your income, even a small amount, to build an emergency fund. Additionally, explore basic investment options to grow your wealth over time. Financial stability reduces stress and provides greater freedom to pursue your goals.
By focusing on these areas, you can navigate your first year with confidence, laying the groundwork for a successful and fulfilling career.
36. Who is the intended audience of this guide
A. University graduates entering the workforce.
B. Senior managers planning to hire new graduates.
C High school students applying for part-time jobs.
D. Financial advisors assisting young professionals.
37. According to the guide, how should one deal with large professional goals
A. Seek advice from experienced colleagues instantly.
B. Break them into smaller, manageable steps.
C. Adjust them frequently based on feedback.
D. Focus merely on urgent tasks first.
38. What does the guide emphasize about workplace communication
A. The primary goal is to impress leaders with complex ideas.
B. It is mainly about promoting one’s own achievements.
C. Understanding and respecting others’ views is crucial.
D. Avoiding non-verbal communication is recommended.
39. What is the key to handling a heavy workload effectively
A. Prioritizing tasks and avoiding distractions.
B. Multitasking to complete more tasks meanwhile.
C. Relying entirely on digital tools for scheduling.
D. Working longer hours to ensure all deadlines are met.
40 What is the first step recommended for financial management
A. Investing immediately in high-risk opportunities.
B. Making a budget to keep track of finances.
C. Setting aside all discretionary income for savings.
D. Consulting a financial advisor for complex plans.
B
When Clara took over her grandfather’s Brooklyn bookshop in 2018, the first thing she removed wasn’t the outdated books, but the WiFi router (路由器). Regulars protested. A lawyer even said he would spend his money elsewhere. But Clara believed that “books need our full attention, just like loved ones do.” She wanted people to focus on reading.
At first, her decision seemed risky, especially when other shops were closing. However, something wonderful happened. By 2020, the shop had become a quiet and comfortable place for people. Teenagers read books on the carpets, forgetting about their phones. A retired judge started a poetry group on Saturdays where people shared poems from memory.
The COVID-19 pandemic (流行病) should have been their death knell. But Clara had an idea: she created “Survival Bundles” — sets of books with her personal notes. To her astonishment, many people, even busy tech managers, loved them. A CEO said it was the first real book he had held since university. Clara realized people were “hungry for a real, touchable experience.”
Last winter, I found her confronted with a new threat. A real estate (房地产) developer bought the building and greatly increased the rent overnight. However, Clara’s customers came to help. They protested outside the shop. The retired judge offered free legal help. Even the lawyer who once complained decided to support her and funded their legal defense.
In court, Clara used a quote from the writer Melville: “We cannot live only for ourselves. Many things connect us.” The judge, who was part of the poetry group, agreed that the rent increase was unreasonable. Clara won.
The shop now displays the court’s decision next to valuable books. It shows that it is our shared human bonds that provide the deepest strength to face contemporary difficulties.
41. What made Clara’s approach to running the bookshop special
A. Satisfying the needs of customers. B. Introducing modern technology.
C. Focusing on rare book collections. D. Prioritizing full concentration.
42. What does the underlined phrase “death knell” in paragraph 3 mean
A. A moment of celebration. B. A desperate cry for survival.
C. An event marking the end. D. A sudden opportunity for growth.
43. Why is the lawyer mentioned again in paragraph 4
A. To show his contradictory behavior.
B. To illustrate the content of a novel.
C. To stress the mass support Clara received.
D. To explain the difficulty Clara came across.
44. What does Clara’s use of the Melville quote in court primarily serve to do
A. To present her deep knowledge of literature to the judge.
B. To highlight the value of community bonds in her defense.
C. To emphasize the legal definition of unreasonable rent increases.
D. To prove that physical books hold more value than digital content.
45. What can we learn from the story
A. Profit-driven decisions may lead to unexpected outcomes.
B. Technology is harmful to traditional businesses and should be avoided.
C. Community and human connection can overcome modern challenges.
D. Small bookshops are bound to encounter many threats in the digital age.
C
Although the shortcomings of the world’s dependence on plastics are all too obvious, the benefits they provide are all too easily ignored. Materials made from plastics are lighter, and cheaper and easier to produce. These materials have become vital in everything from building to car making. Plastics have also eased the world’s dependence on older materials, and on the living beings, from which many of them came. There are perhaps 10 million pianos in the world. If all the white keys were made of ivory, how many elephants would remain
Just as the benefits of plastics are often unseen, however, so are some potential harms. Now there is growing concern about what happens when they break up into micro pieces invisible to the eye. In the past decade such “microplastics” have been found in food chains, in human brains and even in the snow of Antarctica.
To deal with the plastics pollution, the best approach is not to ban plastics, but to manage them more carefully. Better recycling technologies, now under development, are one part of the answer. The percentage of plastics which end up being recycled has doubled in the past two decades, but it is still only 9%. This is not because people do not care about the planet. It is because recycling is harder and more costly than most people realise.
Greater use should therefore be made of landfill. When properly managed and well monitored, this is far less environmentally ruinous than often believed, and can be simpler and more effective. It also sidesteps the risk that plastics sent across the world for recycling will be dumped (倾倒) or burned. Incinerator (焚烧炉), which can both produce energy and allow the resulting carbon to be trapped, are a useful choice too, though they are also unpopular. Fortnum,a Finnish company, has found a way to turn the hydrocarbons (烃) back into plastic materials. Such innovation should be built on. When it comes to plastics, the benefits are very much greater than most people will allow — and so is the potential for managing the costs.
46. Why does the author mention the example of piano keys in paragraph 1
A. To argue that pianos should only be made from plastics.
B. To stress the environmental benefits of using plastics.
C. To show how plastic materials have replaced natural resources.
D. To explain the environmental impact of using traditional materials.
47. What is the main reason for the low rate of plastic recycling
A. The risks caused by recycling.
B. The undeveloped recycling technology.
C. The difficulty and high cost of recycling.
D. People’s lack of concern for the environment.
48. What does the underlined word “sidestep” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Increases. B. Encourages. C. Represents. D. Avoids.
49. According to the author, what is the key factor that makes landfill a recommended option for plastic waste management
A. Its ability to generate clean energy efficiently.
B. Its role in promoting global recycling industries.
C. Its low cost and simplicity when properly managed.
D. Its popularity among environmentalists and the public.
50. What is the author’s overall attitude toward the future of plastic management
A. Hopeless. B. Optimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Critical.
D
The term “lonely” is defined in the dictionary as “feeling unhappy due to being alone or lacking someone to chat with”. However, from my point of view, “being alone” can’t also be meaningful and enjoyable. In other words, “being alone” isn’t equivalent to “loneliness”. Actually, we can literally enjoy our time when we stay alone.
Think of loneliness as the “tunnel phase” of our lives. It’s a time when we don’t have a group of friends around to keep us company; when we are away from the hustle and bustle (熙熙攘攘) of the outside world; when we get the chance to focus on our inner monologue; when we are given the time to recharge ourselves on our own so that we can focus entirely on ourselves. It is during these periods that, without being disturbed and distracted, we are able to discover the things we truly want from our lives. This process is like digging a tunnel, through which we improve ourselves, achieve our goals and get a jolt of power to prepare for the darkness we may meet with in our future lives.
A distinguished figure skater once said in his interview that he often felt lonely, but the external environment would to some extent affect his mind and body, making it difficult for him to concentrate during his practice and performance, and thus he was actually willing to be alone and at times would withdraw from the world. This type of “loneliness” must be one of the reasons why he has been able to deliver so many elaborate and splendid performances throughout his career.
So don’t be frightened by the temporary emptiness or unhappy feeling when you have to be alone. Instead, cherish and enjoy the sense of loneliness you get when you are completely free. Spend time with yourself.
We become more independent in loneliness. We grow stronger in loneliness. Most importantly we find our complete selves in loneliness. When we learn to embrace the feeling of “loneliness” and enjoy the time in which there is no other, loneliness itself ceases to exist.
51. What’s the author’s opinion about “being alone”
A. There is no point in being alone.
B. Being alone means being lonely and helpless.
C. We appreciate our time more when we are alone.
D. Being alone is often considered a source of shame.
52. How does the author develop Paragraph 2
A. By making comparisons. B. By analyzing causes.
C. By providing examples. D. By listing figures.
53. Why is the distinguished figure skater mentioned in the passage
A. To show athletes always feel lonely.
B. To demonstrate the factor of the success.
C. To confirm the positive effect of “loneliness”.
D. To indicate being alone is as important as practice.
54. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A. Loneliness can benefit us a lot in many aspects.
B. People will always feel depressed when faced with being alone.
C. Time spent with yourselves is more enjoyable than that with others.
D. Loneliness can exist all the time, so we should change our attitude toward it.
55. What is the author’s purpose for writing this passage
A. To illustrate different opinions on staying alone.
B. To persuade people into staying away from others.
C. To offer some suggestions on how to spend time alone.
D. To encourage people to learn to value and enjoy their time of loneliness.

From time to time, life might provide a person with the present of a moment that changes everything. As for me, that came on a plane home in January, 2009. Frankly, as a lawyer, I specialized in corporate law in oil and gas projects. In fact, I’d grown to hate my job. It involved too much paperwork and loads of traveling, which I thought was fairly exhausting.
Actually, becoming a lawyer was unintended. I loved my school but it was competitive and students were destined for a good university, and then a graduate plan. That was the track I was on. After graduation, I became a lawyer, but that just made me trapped. I wanted to make a difference, but I had no idea what else I could do.
On that life-changing flight, I asked a stewardess to bring me a hot drink. When she returned, I couldn’t help crying. Hugging me, she said, “I don’t know what’s wrong but if you’re crying in business class, you need to change your life.”
Those words had a great effect on me. I couldn’t carry on in a job that made me so uncomfortable.
After much reflection, I resigned 18 months later. The last time I’d been happy was when I was volunteering at a school. Because of that, my friend Sophia kept telling me I’d love teaching. Then I contacted four schools and became a teacher in the end. No amount of planning would have prepared me for my first day as a teacher. It was stressful, but as I became familiar with the curriculum, I relaxed.
Five years on, I’m head of department. Watching my students develop is so rewarding and results day makes me burst with pride. I used to feel scared about the thought of becoming a more senior lawyer, but I’m so positive about the opportunities teaching can offer. I earn less now but I become richer in many ways.
Every single day, I feel excited to go to work.

Thriving in Your First Year of Work: A Practical Guide
Transitioning (过渡) from campus to the workplace is a significant step, bringing new responsibilities and challenges. For most graduates, it’s the first time they are fully financially independent and dealing with a professional environment. Adapting successfully requires more than just technical skills. Here are four essential strategies to help you build a strong foundation for your career.
Set Clear Professional Goals
Begin by defining what you want to achieve in your role, both in the short and long term. Goals should be challenging yet realistic, pushing you to grow without causing burnout. Break larger goals into attainable tasks and create a timeline for completion. This structured approach turns abstract ambitions into a clear action plan, providing direction and a sense of accomplishment as you progress.
Develop Workplace Communication
Effective interaction is significant. You will cooperate with colleagues, report to managers, and possibly engage with clients. To build strong professional relationships, practice active listening and express your ideas clearly and respectfully. Pay attention to non-verbal cues (提示) and be open to feedback. Understanding others’ viewpoints promotes teamwork and shows emotional intelligence, which is highly valued in any organization.
Master Time and Task Management
The workload can be overwhelming. Prioritize your tasks based on urgency and importance. Use tools like digital calendars or planners to schedule your day, allocating time for deep work, meetings, and breaks. Avoid multitasking, as it often reduces efficiency. Instead, focus on completing one task well before moving to the next. Staying organized is key to meeting deadlines and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
Manage Your Finances Wisely
Your first salary brings independence but also financial responsibilities. Start by creating a budget: track your income, essential expenses (rent, utilities, groceries), and discretionary spending (entertainment, dining out). Prioritize saving a portion of your income, even a small amount, to build an emergency fund. Additionally, explore basic investment options to grow your wealth over time. Financial stability reduces stress and provides greater freedom to pursue your goals.
By focusing on these areas, you can navigate your first year with confidence, laying the groundwork for a successful and fulfilling career.

When Clara took over her grandfather’s Brooklyn bookshop in 2018, the first thing she removed wasn’t the outdated books, but the WiFi router (路由器). Regulars protested. A lawyer even said he would spend his money elsewhere. But Clara believed that “books need our full attention, just like loved ones do.” She wanted people to focus on reading.
At first, her decision seemed risky, especially when other shops were closing. However, something wonderful happened. By 2020, the shop had become a quiet and comfortable place for people. Teenagers read books on the carpets, forgetting about their phones. A retired judge started a poetry group on Saturdays where people shared poems from memory.
The COVID-19 pandemic (流行病) should have been their death knell. But Clara had an idea: she created “Survival Bundles” — sets of books with her personal notes. To her astonishment, many people, even busy tech managers, loved them. A CEO said it was the first real book he had held since university. Clara realized people were “hungry for a real, touchable experience.”
Last winter, I found her confronted with a new threat. A real estate (房地产) developer bought the building and greatly increased the rent overnight. However, Clara’s customers came to help. They protested outside the shop. The retired judge offered free legal help. Even the lawyer who once complained decided to support her and funded their legal defense.
In court, Clara used a quote from the writer Melville: “We cannot live only for ourselves. Many things connect us.” The judge, who was part of the poetry group, agreed that the rent increase was unreasonable. Clara won.
The shop now displays the court’s decision next to valuable books. It shows that it is our shared human bonds that provide the deepest strength to face contemporary difficulties.
41. What made Clara’s approach to running the bookshop special
A. Satisfying the needs of customers. B. Introducing modern technology.
C. Focusing on rare book collections. D. Prioritizing full concentration.
42. What does the underlined phrase “death knell” in paragraph 3 mean
A. A moment of celebration. B. A desperate cry for survival.
C. An event marking the end. D. A sudden opportunity for growth.
43. Why is the lawyer mentioned again in paragraph 4
A. To show his contradictory behavior.
B. To illustrate the content of a novel.
C. To stress the mass support Clara received.
D. To explain the difficulty Clara came across.
44. What does Clara’s use of the Melville quote in court primarily serve to do
A. To present her deep knowledge of literature to the judge.
B. To highlight the value of community bonds in her defense.
C. To emphasize the legal definition of unreasonable rent increases.
D. To prove that physical books hold more value than digital content.
45. What can we learn from the story
A. Profit-driven decisions may lead to unexpected outcomes.
B. Technology is harmful to traditional businesses and should be avoided.
C. Community and human connection can overcome modern challenges.
D. Small bookshops are bound to encounter many threats in the digital age.
【答案】41. D 42. C 43. C 44. B 45. C
C
Although the shortcomings of the world’s dependence on plastics are all too obvious, the benefits they provide are all too easily ignored. Materials made from plastics are lighter, and cheaper and easier to produce. These materials have become vital in everything from building to car making. Plastics have also eased the world’s dependence on older materials, and on the living beings, from which many of them came. There are perhaps 10 million pianos in the world. If all the white keys were made of ivory, how many elephants would remain
Just as the benefits of plastics are often unseen, however, so are some potential harms. Now there is growing concern about what happens when they break up into micro pieces invisible to the eye. In the past decade such “microplastics” have been found in food chains, in human brains and even in the snow of Antarctica.
To deal with the plastics pollution, the best approach is not to ban plastics, but to manage them more carefully. Better recycling technologies, now under development, are one part of the answer. The percentage of plastics which end up being recycled has doubled in the past two decades, but it is still only 9%. This is not because people do not care about the planet. It is because recycling is harder and more costly than most people realise.
Greater use should therefore be made of landfill. When properly managed and well monitored, this is far less environmentally ruinous than often believed, and can be simpler and more effective. It also sidesteps the risk that plastics sent across the world for recycling will be dumped (倾倒) or burned. Incinerator (焚烧炉), which can both produce energy and allow the resulting carbon to be trapped, are a useful choice too, though they are also unpopular. Fortnum,a Finnish company, has found a way to turn the hydrocarbons (烃) back into plastic materials. Such innovation should be built on. When it comes to plastics, the benefits are very much greater than most people will allow — and so is the potential for managing the costs.
46. Why does the author mention the example of piano keys in paragraph 1
A. To argue that pianos should only be made from plastics.
B. To stress the environmental benefits of using plastics.
C. To show how plastic materials have replaced natural resources.
D. To explain the environmental impact of using traditional materials.
47. What is the main reason for the low rate of plastic recycling
A. The risks caused by recycling.
B. The undeveloped recycling technology.
C. The difficulty and high cost of recycling.
D. People’s lack of concern for the environment.
48. What does the underlined word “sidestep” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Increases. B. Encourages. C. Represents. D. Avoids.
49. According to the author, what is the key factor that makes landfill a recommended option for plastic waste management
A. Its ability to generate clean energy efficiently.
B. Its role in promoting global recycling industries.
C. Its low cost and simplicity when properly managed.
D. Its popularity among environmentalists and the public.
50. What is the author’s overall attitude toward the future of plastic management
A. Hopeless. B. Optimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Critical.
【答案】46. B 47. C 48. D 49. C 50. B
D
The term “lonely” is defined in the dictionary as “feeling unhappy due to being alone or lacking someone to chat with”. However, from my point of view, “being alone” can’t also be meaningful and enjoyable. In other words, “being alone” isn’t equivalent to “loneliness”. Actually, we can literally enjoy our time when we stay alone.
Think of loneliness as the “tunnel phase” of our lives. It’s a time when we don’t have a group of friends around to keep us company; when we are away from the hustle and bustle (熙熙攘攘) of the outside world; when we get the chance to focus on our inner monologue; when we are given the time to recharge ourselves on our own so that we can focus entirely on ourselves. It is during these periods that, without being disturbed and distracted, we are able to discover the things we truly want from our lives. This process is like digging a tunnel, through which we improve ourselves, achieve our goals and get a jolt of power to prepare for the darkness we may meet with in our future lives.
A distinguished figure skater once said in his interview that he often felt lonely, but the external environment would to some extent affect his mind and body, making it difficult for him to concentrate during his practice and performance, and thus he was actually willing to be alone and at times would withdraw from the world. This type of “loneliness” must be one of the reasons why he has been able to deliver so many elaborate and splendid performances throughout his career.
So don’t be frightened by the temporary emptiness or unhappy feeling when you have to be alone. Instead, cherish and enjoy the sense of loneliness you get when you are completely free. Spend time with yourself.
We become more independent in loneliness. We grow stronger in loneliness. Most importantly we find our complete selves in loneliness. When we learn to embrace the feeling of “loneliness” and enjoy the time in which there is no other, loneliness itself ceases to exist.
51. What’s the author’s opinion about “being alone”
A. There is no point in being alone.
B. Being alone means being lonely and helpless.
C. We appreciate our time more when we are alone.
D. Being alone is often considered a source of shame.
52. How does the author develop Paragraph 2
A. By making comparisons. B. By analyzing causes.
C. By providing examples. D. By listing figures.
53. Why is the distinguished figure skater mentioned in the passage
A. To show athletes always feel lonely.
B. To demonstrate the factor of the success.
C. To confirm the positive effect of “loneliness”.
D. To indicate being alone is as important as practice.
54. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A. Loneliness can benefit us a lot in many aspects.
B. People will always feel depressed when faced with being alone.
C. Time spent with yourselves is more enjoyable than that with others.
D. Loneliness can exist all the time, so we should change our attitude toward it.
55. What is the author’s purpose for writing this passage
A. To illustrate different opinions on staying alone.
B. To persuade people into staying away from others.
C. To offer some suggestions on how to spend time alone.
D. To encourage people to learn to value and enjoy their time of loneliness.

From time to time, life might provide a person with the present of a moment that changes everything. As for me, that came on a plane home in January, 2009. Frankly, as a lawyer, I specialized in corporate law in oil and gas projects. In fact, I’d grown to hate my job. It involved too much paperwork and loads of traveling, which I thought was fairly exhausting.
Actually, becoming a lawyer was unintended. I loved my school but it was competitive and students were destined for a good university, and then a graduate plan. That was the track I was on. After graduation, I became a lawyer, but that just made me trapped. I wanted to make a difference, but I had no idea what else I could do.
On that life-changing flight, I asked a stewardess to bring me a hot drink. When she returned, I couldn’t help crying. Hugging me, she said, “I don’t know what’s wrong but if you’re crying in business class, you need to change your life.”
Those words had a great effect on me. I couldn’t carry on in a job that made me so uncomfortable.
After much reflection, I resigned 18 months later. The last time I’d been happy was when I was volunteering at a school. Because of that, my friend Sophia kept telling me I’d love teaching. Then I contacted four schools and became a teacher in the end. No amount of planning would have prepared me for my first day as a teacher. It was stressful, but as I became familiar with the curriculum, I relaxed.
Five years on, I’m head of department. Watching my students develop is so rewarding and results day makes me burst with pride. I used to feel scared about the thought of becoming a more senior lawyer, but I’m so positive about the opportunities teaching can offer. I earn less now but I become richer in many ways.
Every single day, I feel excited to go to work.

【答案】例文
Dear Chris,
I feel more than delighted to hear from you and extend my gratitude for your concern about my school life. Recently, I have been preparing for the approaching college entrance examination, which is of great significance for me.
In your letter you asked me how to keep physically and mentally healthy, I’d like to give you a brief introduction. As is widely acknowledged, staying up late can do great harm to our health. I’m determined to get rid of this bad habit, which enables me to have sufficient sleep and enhance learning efficiency. Additionally, it’s beneficial to keep a balanced diet and work out regularly, only in this way can I be energetic enough to be devoted to my study and life. What counts most is that I turn to my parents or friends for help whenever I’m stressed. Accompanied by them, I can lift spirits rapidly and always be optimistic.
How do you find my practice of keeping healthy I hope you can share more effective methods. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Jin
